Solskjaer has overseen seven wins from his opening seven games to propel United to within three points of the Premier League's top four.

The Reds were 11 points shy of the Champions League places when Solskjaer was named as Jose Mourinho's replacement on December 19, and his influence has seen a return of the attacking football supporters had longed for under the previous regime.

Solskjaer's most noteworthy win at the helm came at Tottenham on January 13, when United ran out 1-0 winners over the Premier League's third-placed side thanks to a Marcus Rashford strike.

And Neville, who sat next to Solskjaer during the Norwegian's 11-year career in United's dressing room, says the former striker has exceeded expectations at the club.

"Ole has done an incredible job at Manchester United over the last six weeks - far better than I could have imagined," he told Sky Sports. "Tottenham was a huge game and are a huge team who we've all loved watching.

"But in that first half, he changed to a diamond and changed the shape. He was bold and took risks and it paid off - that's what Manchester United is about and he's delivered brilliantly."

Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham manager, remains the favourite for the permanent manager's position at Old Trafford and Neville believes a decision should only be taken at the end of the current campaign.

"Let's judge it [who should get the full-time United job] at the end of the season - he would want that," Neville explained. "The idea that it's an audition every week for him to get the job is wrong.

"Personally, I hope he gets the job but from a fan perspective I want Manchester United to appoint the very best person for the job - that could be Ole at the end of the season if he continues to do what he's doing now."
